Intermittency in Plasma Turbulence
Intermittency in fluid turbulence can be evidentiated through the analysis of Probability Distribution Functions (PDF) for velocity fluctuations, which display a strong non–gaussian behavior at small scales. In this paper we investigate the occurrence of intermittency in plasma turbulence by studying the departure from the gaussian distribution of PDF for both velocity and magnetic fluctuations...
متن کاملIntermittency in integrable turbulence.
We examine the statistical properties of nonlinear random waves that are ruled by the one-dimensional defocusing and integrable nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Using fast detection techniques in an optical fiber experiment, we observe that the probability density function of light fluctuations is characterized by tails that are lower than those predicted by a Gaussian distribution. Moreover, by...
متن کاملIntermittency and turbulence in a magnetically confined fusion plasma
We investigate the intermittency of magnetic turbulence as measured in reversed field pinch plasmas. We show that the probability distribution functions of magnetic field differences are not scale invariant; that is, the wings of these functions are more important at the smallest scales, a classical signature of intermittency. We show that scaling laws appear also in a region very close to the ...
متن کاملIntermittency of Burgers’ Turbulence
We consider the tails of probability density function (PDF) for the velocity that satisfies Burgers equation driven by a Gaussian large-scale force. The saddle-point approximation is employed in the path integral so that the calculation of the PDF tails boils down to finding the special field-force configuration (instanton) that realizes the extremum of probability. For the PDFs of velocity and...
متن کاملScale resolved intermittency in turbulence
The deviations Scm (“intermittency corrections”) from classical (“K41”) scaling c,==m/3 of the mth moments ( 1 u(p) I”) in high Reynolds number turbulence are calculated, extending a method to approximately solve the Navier-Stokes equation described earlier. It is suggested to introduce the notion of scale resolved intermittency corrections Sk,(p), because these &L&(p) are found to be large in ...
